Actually, I'm fascinated with linguistics (to the point of minoring in university) and really like IPA. It helps explain things so much more easily. If only we had decided to use that on that one thread a while ago.

I speak Connacht Irish, so some things I write, translate, or transliterate may be non-standard.
